Getting Enough Protein in Your Diet
When it comes to eating healthy, there are certain things that each and every one of us need to have in our diets. There are three macronutrients that are necessary for survival: fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. According to the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association, the average adult should have a diet that is made up of 50% carbohydrates (yes, contrary to popular belief, we do need carbohydrates), 15% fats and 35% proteins. Too much protein can be as bad as not enough protein, so there needs to be a healthy balance of nutrients. Too much protein can lead to serious health conditions, including kidney and gall stones.
